Queerness Through the Ages
 

 

Claude Debussy: Chansons de Bilitis
text by Pierre Louys

A ancient Greek girl, in this turn-of-the-century French miniature, muses on her love for another woman.

Handel: Alcina (selection)

The text is an episode from Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso (also set operatically by Francesca Caccini, Vivaldi and again by Handel), from the Rennaisance, when everyone was pansexual and male characters were played by women.

Benjamin Britten: Death in Venice (excerpt)

In this semi-autobiographical work, the artist muses on missed opportunities in his life.
